Chapter 2531 man on a mission(twenty-four)

The last goblin rebellion happened 200 years ago, and it has become part of "history" for humans. The young wizards can only hear about it in Professor Binns' boring fourth grade magic history class. Since no job requires history classes

owls certificate, almost all the students in that class were asleep.

Because he firmly believed that the goblins would never rebel again, Fudge agreed that the director of the Goblin Liaison Office did not have to work on the day when Cuthbert Mockridge was in the Quidditch World Cup final. Even other departments and other clerks also allowed that day.

I took a vacation to attend that grand ceremony. But someone had to be arranged to stay on duty, and Amos Diggory was the "unlucky" unlucky guy. But because he did Bagman a small favor, he had stopped selling tickets.

Afterwards, he got tickets for the World Cup. The entire Ministry of Magic was already busy preparing for the Quidditch World Cup finals. The director went to play, so what kind of shift would Amos have?

In addition to Ludo Bagman's frequent non-payment of money and fraud, he was once prosecuted as a Death Eater. However, in order to allow his son to enjoy a wonderful vacation, Amers accepted Ludo Bagman regardless of Cedric's objections.

Tickets for Bagman.

Ludo Bagman was able to escape trial mainly because he claimed to be ignorant of everything and that he did not know that August Rookwood was a Death Eater. Moreover, coupled with his excellent performance in previous games,

His charges were dropped.

Pomona had never been able to understand people's enthusiasm for Quidditch, but what Severus had just said reminded her that Hufflepuff needed a new Seeker after Cedric graduated.

Look around Hufflepuff's long table to see who has potential in this area.

If you're looking for someone good at sports, you shouldn't look for them at the dinner table. Gryffindor found its current Seeker on the playing field.

Pomona turned her attention to the Gryffindor long table. Harry was the Quidditch Seeker and was already popular. Since Sirius Black broke into the Gryffindor lounge, the Quidditch players would

Harry was protected and surrounded by several people wherever he went.

Who doesn't know that the reason why Harry can "keep one step ahead" is because he always has the latest and greatest broomstick.

She ate her lunch absentmindedly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Severus and Felicity talking happily, as if they were getting closer after sharing a "secret".

"I heard that Severus submitted Wolfsbane potion to the Potions Association to apply for the Prince Award." Minerva said.

"What? When?" Pomona asked in surprise.

"It seems to have been a month." Minerva recalled, "But it seems a little difficult to apply because Wolfsbane Potion is not Severus' original work."

Pomona turned to look at Snape and Felicity again. The first person to invent the Wolfsbane potion was a Ravenclaw, and it was said that he had entered the Wizengamot.

She hoped she could help, but after thinking about the people she knew, it seemed that no one except Albus could help.

Just when she was feeling sad, she accidentally saw Cedric, who was laughing happily with his friends.

It's a good opportunity to get in touch with Scamander. Cedric doesn't need to develop in the UK. Albus is still the president of the International Confederation of Wizards.

Then she looked at the long Gryffindor table, where Neville was sitting with Finnigan and Thomas, awkwardly communicating.

Maybe you should give up, we already have Harry Potter.

It is enough to have a savior. Harry Potter, who is also a boy born at the end of July, is the "chosen" one.

If the savior is like Neville, people will quickly lose faith. If one day the Dark Lord can really complete his crazy experiment and attach his soul to a human body and be resurrected.

People need a hope that seems reliable, rather than one that can't even remember the password to enter.

==================================================

============

"It's an honor to meet you." Georgiana smiled and greeted the other person accompanied by Edgeworth.

That summer vacation, Pomona took Cedric everywhere to socialize, to make up for her fault. Cedric showed excellent social skills. He was not only polite, but also very gentlemanly, and calm when shaking hands with others.

He was self-possessed and had the airs of an adult. She was sure that Amos Diggory had not taught him that.

In peaceful times, social interaction is more useful than swords, but goblins rarely participate in human social activities, or they join as guests, or there are live performances by goblin musicians.

The goblin rebellion has become history for humans, but not for goblins, just like the persecution of wizards taught in the history of magic in the third grade.

But for people at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, witch hunting was not a thing of the past. It is not difficult to understand that in the process of "modernization", the increase in infrastructure, agricultural production, housing, health, education and other fields made witchcraft beliefs more popular.

No matter how important it is, people are committed to improving living conditions. Who cares if someone is flying in the sky on a broomstick?

If you want to fly, then invent an aircraft; if you want to communicate faster, then invent and improve telegraph transmission methods.

But this is not the case for agriculture and rural areas. Crop harvests are affected by weather, whether local or global weather, and livestock die. Among the ten plagues of Moses, there was livestock plague. God made all livestock in Egypt suffer from plague.

.

This is different from the Black Death. After the Black Death died, even if food production was reduced due to the Little Ice Age, it could still be distributed to the living. When the livestock died, the food for the first person was reduced, and the transportation capacity for the second was lost.

When the Rhine River dries up, it will not only be unable to irrigate farmland, but navigation will be cut off in areas where water transportation is the mainstay. Even if there is food for disaster relief, it will not be transported in. On the land route, there are various vassal states, large and small, and each principality will have to set up cards to collect taxes.

It will seriously affect the circulation of goods.

Queen Maria Theresa of Austria implemented the "Customs Union" and the areas she controlled were also under her control. Her contemporary Frederick the Great believed that a developed road network would facilitate the invasion of other countries. Of course, these are things that will come later.

The actions of the British financiers were most likely directed by Whitehall, and the military advisers in exile in France "saw" Napoleon's plan. Using animal power to fly steam locomotives could obtain more war horses, and the French cavalry could all have horses.

On the surface, it looked promising, and everyone was busy talking flattery, making the goats confident in the future benefits of this road. When the time came to release the issue of the Mississippi River conflict, and the news of Napoleon's defeat in Santo Domingo, confidence was boosted.

Without it, the stock price will fall, and then it will be time for the "big shorts" to take advantage.

This is the theory, but the market never goes in the direction that people expect. People who shorted the French East India Company did not expect that the Nationalist Government would directly bankrupt the French East India Company.

During the Hundred Years War between England and France, both the British and French kings wanted to default on their debts. The French king directly destroyed the Knights Templar, and the British declared bankruptcy and refused to repay their debts to the Bank of Peruzzi. This not only led to the collapse of the Bank of Peruzzi, but also caused the collapse of the entire Italy.

, including Venice, are in financial crisis.

Venice wanted to do business with the Arabs. At that time, Arabia was still very prosperous. They did not recognize European silver coins. If you wanted to buy Eastern luxury goods, you needed to use silver ingots. The Arabs then used silver ingots to buy Eastern luxury goods.

During the Hundred Years War, it was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Maritime Silk Road had been established, but the main goods had changed from silk in the Sui and Tang Dynasties to porcelain, and a large part was spices. It is no longer accurate to call it the Silk Road.

The Yuan Dynasty was dominated by cavalry, and its economic center was in the north. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, its control over the south weakened. This period was also the most prosperous period of trade on the Maritime Silk Road. The Portuguese did not discover the Cape of Good Hope until the 15th and 16th centuries.

route to India, so during this period the Arabs controlled the intermediate trade.

Due to the Mongol Western Expeditions and the Crusades, the Abbasid Empire where Muhammad, the author of the book on the soul, lived, split in the mid-13th century until the rise of the Ottoman Empire, which destroyed the Byzantine Empire in 1453.

, captured Constantinople, and then the "front line" in Europe became Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire.

During the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire became increasingly powerful, and Suez became the military and commercial port of the Ottoman Empire. During his reign, the Portuguese fleet raided Suez, but the Ottomans were forced to retreat due to their tight defenses.

People initially thought that the Suez Canal could not be built because of the height difference between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Even if it was built, it would require a lot of investment. But after it was built, it was discovered that there was no height difference. The existence of the height difference was a rumor. The French government even once

The surveyor became a spy.

This rumor also affected the sale of Suez Canal shares in the UK, since she heard that there were almost no British among the earliest financiers.

The British gold coin is called the guinea, which is named after Guinea, where the gold was produced, and Guinea is located on the west coast of West Africa.

Georgiana heard that there is no shortage of people in the palace who take the initiative to show their kindness, but they will quickly forget who you are after you lose power.

There was also Napoleon's friend and secretary, who chose to resign in anger. It was easy for him to borrow money when he was Napoleon's secretary, but when he stopped, he was sued.

At the same time, she also heard a saying that it is necessary to distinguish who is an ally and who is a friend.

Friends who are willing to help you regardless of rewards or risks are very rare when you are a student. As an adult, you have to learn to discern what is hidden behind those seemingly friendly faces.

She remembered hearing someone say once that Napoleon's sister Pauline attended a banquet. She dressed up as a priestess of Dionysus and shined brightly, which made a certain lady dressed as a hunting goddess very unhappy, but she didn't

Instead of saying mean things like the others, Paulina was sent to a bright room, where she lay down and was praised from head to toe until she noticed that Paulina's ears were not so perfect.

The lady exclaimed loudly at the banquet, "Pauline has a pair of donkey ears. Isn't it so big that it would be just right to cut off half of it?" The flower protectors were surprised that such a beautiful person actually had such a flaw, and

Polina couldn't bear it anymore and cried and found an excuse to leave.

Georgiana said at the time that she wanted to remember the lady's name, but now she can't remember it. If she wanted to ask Pauline, she would have to uncover her scars.

Hufflepuff Code 84: Be patient, and then retaliate afterwards, but I believe you have forgotten it by then.

Maybe it was because she was forgetful that she was given so many lessons to remind her not to imitate farmers and save snakes in the ice and snow.

It's actually fine. It may be hibernating instead of freezing to death. When the farmer wakes it up with the heat from his chest, it will bite him instead.

It is natural for cats to hunt mice, but it is only for dogs to hunt mice that they are nosy.

When Grindelwald wreaked havoc in Europe, Britain sent Aurors to hunt him down. But when Voldemort wreaked havoc in Britain, who did the International Union of Wizards send to intervene?

If Europe is really in chaos and the end of the world is going to happen as shown in the crystal ball, Severus has also found a bunker left by the Germans during World War II. There is countless red wine in it, which is enough to keep her drunk.

After all, the most important thing in life is to be happy.
